Over a year before the album's release, Reznor suggested, perhaps with intentional or dismissive misdirection, that the album would "be irritating to people because it's not traditional Nine Inch Nails. For anyone wondering in case no one else mentions, the instrumental versions are not simply karaoke tracks, nor are the original instrumental pieces the same as the original album. I own a handful of the NIN Definitive pressings and every single one is impressive - this one is no exception.It doesn't sound terrible or anything, but I personally don't believe there is any real fidelity to be gained from it.

Most bafflingly, “10 Miles High (Instrumental)” builds up the regular version’s secondary guitar riff—played so quietly in the original that its presence seems almost sarcastic, like a mockery of the whole idea of riffs—into a dull cock-rock stomp and strut. As a lyrical and musical chronicle of complete and total personal failure, it’s peerless in the Nine Inch Nails catalog; only Broken’s scabrous “Gave Up” and The Downward Spiral’s title track (a song whose sonic toolbox “10 Miles High” raids extensively, but which somehow sounds optimistic in comparison despite its suicidal subject matter) come close. Several accompanying recordings were also released, including a remix album, Things Falling Apart (2000), a live album, And All That Could Have Been (2002), as well as an alternate version of the record, The Fragile: Deviations 1 (2016). While it received critical acclaim from many, it did not receive the commercial success that its predecessor, The Downward Spiral, did (attributed variously to the difference in musical climate, and insufficient promotion by Interscope Records).

Limited edition 4 LP Deconstruction of the Fragile by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross clocking in at 150 minutes! But it takes the emotional distress that gives it its title and transmutes it into something colossal, defiant, and resilient. A sampler keyboard pad created from Reznor's voice is used for "The Frail" and leftover/outtake " Leaving Hope". This would involve forgetting about being tied down to creating within the usual 'song' structure and Trent would do anything that his mood took. The Fragile” and “Just Like You Imagined,” highlights of the album’s first disc (thinking it of a CD is a hard habit to break after nearly twenty years), are two of The Fragile’s most effective moments in this regard.
